What is cold brew coffee?
Cold brew coffee is when you make the coffee, but you do not heat it in any way. Just like it sounds. It is made by sitting in the water for x amount of time. and then it is done.
How I do it
- I use a mason jar with a lid available. I fill with 500 ml of water.
- I the put 3 heaping tablespoons of coffee in the water.
- I close the lid.
- Shake the jar to mix the coffee around.
- Place in the refrigerator for 11 to 13 hours. I prefer 12 on the nose.
- When the time is up remove from the refrigerator and pour through a filter into the coffee pot.
- Taste. If you like drink up black like me. If not add your favorite flavor and drink then.
Pour coffee into coffee filter as per usual then save or drink
What you will notice
The coffee tastes a lot smoother. It is easier to drink. It is apparently much stronger than regular brew coffee. I definitely noticed a kick, could also be that I then chugged the whole thing instead of sipping. I am all or nothing.
It is smoother, better for me, didn’t give me the coffee poop, and easier to make. As long as you have the foresight to get ready the day before.
